Categories     Winter

Time 10m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 quarts water
1 cup margarine
1 cup peanut butter
4 cups cereal (cornmeal, rolled oats, roman meal and/or cream of wheat)
chopped fruit (raisins, dates, apples)
sunflower seeds or bird seed

Steps:

  • In a large kettle, bring water and margarine to boiling.
  • Slowly add cereals and cook, stirring constantly until the mixture is fully cooked and thick.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Add peanut butter and desired amount of chopped fruit, nuts, and seeds.
  • Cool and place in plastic containers.
  • Serving amounts depend on how large you make your bird feeders so the"yield" is a guess.
  • Note: pack the mixture into chopped off chunks of panty hose or put in pine cones.
  • Hang the mixture in protected crooks of trees.
  • You can also spread the mixture onto a surface area (don't use aluminum pans; when it's freezing, little bird feet can stick to the metal and suffer injury), set out on ground or picnic bench.
  • By placing the food at different elevations, you will attract many species of birds.
  • The food can be preserved in a freezer (if there is any left over).
  • Just be sure to use it within three to four months.
